Electric vehicle charging station rebates for your apartment or condo building.
Thanks to the Province of Nova Scotia, we are able to provide rebates for electric vehicle (EV) chargers to owners of multi-unit residential buildings (MURBs).
There are two EV programs to explore:
This program helps you plan and implement a strategy that prepares your building for EV charging now and the future, where most of your building residents will require EV charging. It has two rebate components:
- The first is the EV Ready Plan rebate that helps participants develop a long–term EV charging strategy.
- The second is the EV Ready Charger rebate that supports the installation of eligible charging stations according to an EV Ready Plan.
- In order for a building to ensure they get EV Ready in the best way possible, participants will be required to hire an approved consultant to prepare an EV Ready Plan.
- An EV Ready Plan is your first step in the process.
- The EV Ready Plan is a guide for your EV charging infrastructure. It helps ensure your charging infrastructure can adapt to meet the long-term charging needs and guides the building to achieve EV Ready over time.
- The EV Ready Plan rebate doesn’t require you to install any charging stations or complete any electrical upgrades.
- After the plan is completed, you are eligible for EV Ready Charger rebates.
- The EV Ready Plan and EV Ready Charger rebates are available for both new construction and existing MURB buildings.
- An EV Ready Plan can be created by a consultant selected from Efficiency Nova Scotia’s Preferred Partner (EPP) network.
- The consultant will develop a plan that has signoff from a registered professional engineer (P.Eng).

- Cost-effective installation, avoiding/minimizing costly electrical upgrades.
- Higher rebates per charging station and higher total rebate limits (compared to the Standalone EV Charger).

- This program assists you with your building’s initial stations to support early adopters or if your building has smaller, straightforward charging requirements.
